Why Tennessee customers mail in central gateway module clone

Tennessee has roughly 5.6 million registered vehicles, and trucks, SUVs & imports make up much of what Nashville-area shops and owners mail us.

Do you accept central gateway module clone modules from Tennessee?
Yes — we receive modules from Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, Chattanooga and the rest of Tennessee regularly. With about 5.6 million registered vehicles statewide, trucks, SUVs & imports are the bulk of what we see from Tennessee.
Is there a central gateway module clone shop in Nashville I should use instead?
Most Nashville shops don't keep the bench equipment for central gateway module clone — they'd forward the module to a specialist anyway, which adds a markup and a middleman. Going direct to us is usually faster and cheaper. Cross-region northeast — about 2 days each way.
Does Tennessee vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Tennessee discontinued its county emissions testing programs and has no statewide periodic safety inspection. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Tennessee and federal requirements.
Why can't I just plug in a used gateway?
A brand-new gateway needs a full dealer setup, and a plain used one carries the donor car's VIN and coding, so the car won't accept it cleanly. Cloning copies your original gateway's coding, configuration, and VIN onto the part-number-matched donor so the replacement drops in without that full setup.
Can every gateway be cloned on the bench?
No, and we won't pretend otherwise. Mercedes ZGW/CGW, BMW ZGM, and VW/Audi J533 gateways are usually bench-cloneable. But FCA/Chrysler-group SGW security gateways and the very newest gateways can require online or OEM tooling and may not be finishable on the bench alone. Send your VIN and a label photo and we tell you which case yours is before you ship.
